Hello, Pilot families -
We were thrilled to have so many of you join us for First-Year & Sophomore Family Weekend, and hope you had as much fun as we did sharing our beautiful campus and community with you!
This edition shares important dates and reminders to review with your student as we work our way through the semester. Reach out to parents@up.edu with any questions or concerns you have. We'll catch up with you again after Spring Break!
In partnership,
